CD rom used to write

[krishen007Lomez]

Can any body tell me whether there is a software that can convert your normal CD rom
To write CD?s and if so what is the software and where is it available (best price)

 

[beamrider]

No. No such thing available. If there was, we wouldn't be buying CDR's.

 

[Rally1]

this is a joke right?!

as a fellow (anandtech) newbie i advise you delete your post.

 

[Tokeniso]

Hmm..

[Deathgame]

Sounds funny....CDROM is a CDROM....a CDRW is a CDRW
Just my two cents....
I smell an el locko

 

[perfectlysane]

yeah pm me, i just got a truck load of this software. I'll give it away for $200.00 each..















(j/k)

 

[Healey]

Yes. But it's a combo software/hardware package. In fact there was just a thread about a pretty good deal for the system, see the details here.

A great benefit is that after you install the upgrade you end up with an addition CD rom to use as a "playback" drive to read data.

Just ignore the snide comments, some people just want to keep others in the dark.

Okay... I usually bag on people who reply with no valuable input whatsoever, but that's exactly what I'm going to do here....


Man, that is the dumbest question I've heard in a looooong time.

Well, here is how it works - the commercial CDs that you buy (N'Sync, Blink, Windows, Jenna V-CD) are actually duplicated from a master CD, which then cannot be changed. You cannot alter that (like writing with a Marker on white paper - can't erase what you've written).

CD-Rs, that you can buy, are also referred to as blank CDs (like blank paper). You can write on them till they're full, but you need a special CD drive called a CD-Recorder. But once the CD is full, you can't change anything on it (like a piece of paper full of notes or so). Usually, you can use this CD in a regular CD player, DVD player, or CD-Rom.

Then there is CD-RW, which is like writing with a pencil, which you can erase over and over again. Works like the CD-R above, but you can erase and rewrite it. However, these CDs can only be read by special drives (CD Recorders, some DVD players, and multi-read CD-Roms). You cannot play these as a regular music CD in your stereo (at least, not in most stereos).

I hope this gives you some insight in this matter.

ok, which one of my clients are you and how did you find this website ?


LMAO !!!

Another thing

regular CD drives cannot be converted into CD recorders, due to physical limitations of the CD drive. They just use a laser beam to read data, but CD recorders need an additional laser to write (burn) the info on the CD.

Give the guy a break.

 

[cmdavid]

regardless if this software is available or not.. this thread belongs in the ~IWANNA~... so take it over there and make fun...

 

[Unclemo]

That was funny. I am shocked there were some nice enough people to respond with the answer. Don't feel too dumb though... there are a lot of nerds around here.

 

[speed01]

That's the second time in a week I've heard this. One of the nieghborhood kids was telling everyone that he has the software to do this and does it all the time. I just shook my head and walked away.

 

[cheetoden]

Oh man! Is that what this thing in my dad's computer is? I thought it was an ash tray! I forsee an ass-whipping in my future!

<< ok, which one of my clients are you and how did you find this website ?

HAHAHAAHAHAAAAHA...I was just thinking the same thing!

Reminds me of the lady who kept turning off her computer everytime I told her to hit the Start button
